I drank 4 glasses of white white 3 days before surgery. As hard as it is to believe I forgot about staying away from it. Is it still safe for me to go for the procedure? I am having breast augmentation, eye bag repositioning and double lid lift and fat graft. Please help I'm freaking out

Answer: Drinking and surgery Questions like this are best addressed by your surgeon. In my practice, we try to screen people for their drinking habits. If they have severe drinking problems then we do not offer them surgery and try to encourage them to seek help. If they are moderate and reasonable social drinkers, then we advise them to not drink alcohol the day before surgery.

Answer: Alcohol and surgery. I drank 4 glasses of white white 3 days before surgery. Is it safe? I agree with my previous colleague. Different surgeons might have different guidelines with regards to alcohol before surgery. I normally recommend my patients not to drink any alcohol for at least 10 days in preparation of surgery, but I am aware of different opinions on this.Please do contact your surgeon and I am confident he/she will be able to assist you, also in relationship to the extent of your operation.Best of luckAndrea Marando
